The $130-million Broad with 2000 pieces of art or the MOCA downtown Los Angeles with about 5000 artworks are the epicenter of the art in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles Central Library

You don’t have to be a connoisseur of ancient Egyptian design or Art Deco to appreciate the limestone sculptures and 12 murals depicting California history. Being one of LA’s most treasured institution, the 1926 Central Library is also a very cozy nook.

Pershing Square

The place in focus here is the one and only 1923 Millennium Biltmore Hotel. Moorish carved wood ceiling, rose marble fountain, angelic themes… should we continue?

Grand Central Market

Being a historic charm, this 1907 landmark is nowadays a hub of artisan coffee and food.

Angel’s Flight Railway

The world’s shortest railway (90 m – 298 ft). Angel’s Flight is not currently operating, but we’re you’d still want to take a picture with the 1901 funicular which has an impressive angle, by the way!

Staples, Microsoft Theater, LA Live

LA Live surrounds Microsoft Theater and Staples Center. La Live is the premier sports and music venue in Los Angeles featuring all kinds of restaurants, night clubs, a bowling alley, movie theaters and The Grammy Museum. It’ll be a good choice if you want to be dropped off here to explore the area, check out the Grammy Museum, try LA’s most lauded restaurants and finish the day with a movie and popcorn.

You can just as well get back to the hotel or finish at some bar after the tour. Why not? You’ve seen way too much for the day and deserve some sparkling wine and peaceful environment.

Day 2

The Grove

Opened in 2007, this 56,000 m2 (600,000 ft2) area is a paradise for shoppers, gourmands, and pretty much all tourists.

Happy place for happy people. Don’t forget to take happy pictures!

Rodeo Drive

What is Rodeo Drive? It is an iconic blend of classic architectural styles, the $200 million “Two Rodeo” that resembles a romantic European avenue, the place for shopping for Leonardo DiCaprio and Britney Spears, and the must-see Los Angeles attraction during winter holidays with its unique Christmas décor.

You might already have an idea what Rodeo Drive is, but as an Asian proverb goes - Better to see something once than to hear about it a thousand times.

Sunset Strip

The 1.6-miles Strip is the heart of the City of West Hollywood and used to be the playground to the former Hollywood elite like Greta Garbo and Marilyn Monroe.

Today The Strip is still a bright enclave that offers everything from world-class restaurants, bars and hotels to music venues, nightclubs and upscale shopping.

Hollywood Boulevard & Hollywood Walk of Fame

You won’t be surprised to hear that Hollywood Boulevard is the busiest tourist attraction in Los Angeles. You might not be surprised to know that it all started as a marketing tactic.

You will be surprised to hear how much is a star fee, how many stars are there on Walk of Fame, what celebrity got five stars alone, and that there are 2 Michael Jacksons here!

Hollywood Forever Cemetery

Surrounded by Hollywood Sign atop the Hollywood Hills from one side and Paramount Studios form the other, the former Hollywood Memorial Park is located at 6000 Santa Monica Boulevard and occupies the area of 62 acres (25 ha).

Founded in 1899, the Hollywood Forever Cemetery has an impressive collection of old-fashioned monuments, statues and the crypts of the legendary stars from the entertainment industry.

The 2 day tour in LA was amazing. It fulfilled all of my dreams. I have visited Hollywood Boulevard and Walk of Fame Ė that was the best moment of my life. My friends didnít enjoy much such a busy touristic attraction, so our guide took us to a quieter place where we could marvel on nature and surrounding landscapes. Seems like the city can offer anything to anyone, and people with different tastes and backgrounds can easily find what they like, especially if they have a friendly guide as a local friend and a supervisor.

Itís the best 2 day tour in LA! We went to all the hot spots in the city and got to know so much new about the place from our local friendly guide. This city has definitely infected us with its vibrant and flamboyant way of life. Even though people from New York usually hate LA, we can definitely say that we are an exception! After spending wonderful two days in the city we all came to a conclusion that we heart Los Angeles.

Viktor H, Australia, Sep 20, 2016

Can I just say Ė it was unforgettable! Honestly, the whole tour was so organized and well-scheduled that we managed to see all the attractions in two days and I wasnít feeling tired at all. Even though Iím 60, I managed to enjoy this tour as much as youngsters do. My husband didnít join me as he was afraid we are too old for that kind of activity, but next time Iíll certainly take him with me to prove him wrong.

Great experience in Los Angeles. The best of the best. Though at first it seemed like itís impossible to visit all the main city attractions in two days, but it turned out, it was just enough. Just enough not only to do the sightseeing, but also to feel the rhythm and the spirit of the place, see how people live and whatís in fashion in LA. We are highly satisfied with the tour and will recommend it to all of our friends.
